Art in View

November 28, 2013

Award-winning painter George Allan celebrates four decades of capturing Maui with a new show at Viewpoints Gallery. "Paint and Fabric: Island Impressions" also features the work of quilter Joan Davis; it opens with a public reception at 5 p.m. Friday at the Makawao gallery.

Allan has depicted island life for 40 years; this show reflects his love of the island and his gratitude for the people of Maui. "Because of these Maui gifts, his life as an artist has been made abundantly fulfilling and exciting," a release said.

Allan's paintings are featured in the collections of the State of Hawaii, the City and County of Honolulu, the County of Maui and national corporate collections, among others.

Davis uses her own hand-dyed and batik fabrics from her extensive collection to convey the "essence and dynamics of the islands in fabric, resulting in exquisite and highly collectible works of art," the release said.
